My understanding is that resubmitting good stories is explicitly permitted. If we had a more meritocratic way to decide what exposure each story gets we wouldn't need to, but we're not there yet. It took me four tries over three years (!) to get Citizen Kubrick to the frontpage[1]. It is IMO the #2 article I've ever read, and it's too good to submit once and give up just because of the vagaries of /newest. Given that I was willing to be so persistent, I'm not sure what harm my repeated submissions did. I wouldn't have been as persistent with this one, but it seemed worth a second attempt. (Though I wasn't aware that it had been attempted the very same day; knowing that would have changed my decision.)
